seraphe Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 Something is still not quite right about this 1:1 "Made with a Genuine Watch Dissected...".Comparing to these photos of gen...Looking up close...Bezel of 1:1 rep looks much wider than gen1:1 rep seemed have increased size from 114270 mainly on the bezel, while gen dial looks largerHands on 1:1 rep look larger than genWhat do you think? Am I wrong, coz I sure hope I am so I can get one of these and be happy with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chefcook Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 End link fitment is ultra bad. The fact that those two dealers are so audacious to call this 1:1 makes me other dealer's customer... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrgod Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 Hmm... That is actually quite bad.. No need to even start to list all the errors. :-( Disappointing, considering the list of recent, excellent replications. What is currently the best version of the old Explorer 1..? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubiquitous Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 The sad thing is... This watch should be fairly simple to get correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lhooq Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 I'm not sure if I'm looking at the right items on the PC website, but there does seem to be a substantial improvement in the replication of the mid-case. This is especially apparent when viewed from the side (compare crown position, thinness of the case at center, and flare of the lughorns): RLEX00203 (Old?) RLEX10002 (New?) Gen 214270: Hands also appear to be correct on RLEX10002. What I can't see in the pictures is whether the dial surface is matte, instead of glossy as on the earlier versions.

jmb Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 Even if it was 100% correct it has no soul. Very sad... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mch2112 Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 Wow, you guys are harsh. It just looks like bad lighting and mediocre SELs to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmb Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 It wouldn't matter to me. Rolex calling this an Explorer is like Chevy calling the new mid-size wanna-be Wimpala and Impala! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robaer Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 Look at the dial markers, 3,6 and 9 are too thin and square. The old ones were not perfect but a lot better imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
